Is Alucard in Castlevania: Nocturne?
Yes, Alucard is back! Alucard, Dracula’s dhampir son, has become a favorite of both players and non-players of the game, and fans were hoping for him to show up in the spinoff.
Alucard appears in the ending of Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1. When Drolta attempts to kill Richter, she gets stabbed by a familiar sword.
Alucard introduces himself and tells the evil vampires that if they fight him, they will die.
Richter then asks if he's really Alucard, and Alucard responds, "You must be Richter Belmont. Complete with whip. And on the brink of utter defeat." He then says that he hopes he's not too late.
Well, Alucard is right on time, and we can expect him to have a bigger role in Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2, if another season is confirmed.

Does Dracula Return in Castlevania: Nocturne?
In the games, Dracula remains a threat during Richter Belmont’s time, and he’s present in both Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night.
The Castlevania games, after all, mainly revolve around Dracula’s castle and his return.
However, Dracula does not appear in the first season of Castlevania: Nocturne. But if the series follows the storyline in the games, then we can expect Dracula to appear in future seasons.
Are Trevor and Sypha in Castlevania: Nocturne?
As the sequel series is set 300 years after the events of the original series, Trevor and Sypha are not in Castlevania: Nocturne.
However, Sypha is mentioned in a conversation between Richter and his grandfather, Juste Belmont.
Juste mentions that one of their ancestors 300 years ago was a powerful sorceress. Richter then responds that he knows it's Sypha as he knows everything about their family history.
